Immunoassay–mass spectrometry to identify Brucella melitensis by Amirreza Sharif, Ramin Bagheri Nejad, Alireza Ghassempour

“…To overcome these obstacles, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) linked with Brucella-specific antibodies and MALDI-TOF MS analysis have been used to create a quick and accurate technique for direct bacterial separation and identification in complex samples. This method allows MNPs to immune-selectively collect Brucella cells, which are then deactivated and ready for MALDI-TOF MS analysis by a formic acid/acetonitrile wash. …”
